The Wheat crop.

The wheat crop of 1887 is now all in
the ground and under much more favor
able conditions than for several years past.
The ground is moister and in generally
bet~ter.condition and there is an increased
acreage, 80 that the outlook for a large
crop is of the very best. The acreage in
Minnesota is probably 3,250,o00 acres, an
increase of 5 per cent over last year. The
smallness of this increase is due partly to
summer-fallowing, partly to low prices
and partly to the fact that many farmers
are devoting o attention to stock-rais-
ing. In Dakota the acreage will be $685.
000-an increase of Is per cen. From
these data it is evident that with anything
like a fair chance the aggregate yield of
Minnesota and Dakota will be between
100000 and &c, 900 bushels as against
100000 last year. These indications
are gathered from accurate reports of cor
respondents in nearly every county in both
state and territory.

ASCENDING THE RAPIDS.
Judge HiIger Gives a Graphic Ac
count of the Homeward Trip
of the Rose.

GRAND CANYON, May 17.-The Rose OF
Helena arrived at Half-Breed rapids On
Friday last, the day we left Great Falls.
Our fuel was nearly all out and we had tu
hire a team to procure wood. Next eve
ming we were ready to face the rapids,
We found that the line on the lower and
most dangerous part of the rapids had
sunk to the bottom of the river among the
rocks and could not be used even if we
had hold of it. We decided to run the
breakers to the island without a line. We
did SO and then used a line over the mid
die pitch, six raftsmen pulling all the time.
We thus gained the whirlpool to the foot
of the last pitch. From there we steamed
along with the head line at hand, in case
we needed it, but we got along without
such aid. It took us forty-eight minutes
to thus pass the rapids.
1t is however a dangerous undertaking,
especially near the lower end. The least
mishap there would send the boat and
men on the boulders, where disaster would
be inevitable. It would take considerable
time and expense to render the passage
safe.
We steamed all the way above the rapids
WltnOuE a line ana arrived at my ranCl IN
eleven hours.
We have decided not to sail below the
rapids at present as there is no half way
station where passengers could stay com
fortably over night even if the rapids
could be passed safely all the time. So
we will await the arrival of the Fern from
Townsend and may arrange to transfer
passengers from her at the rapids. This
would enable us to establish a through
line to your promising city. Many thanks
for the kind reception and good treatment
we met at the Falls. We send kind re-
CARDS to the people Of Great Falls.

THE JUDITH BASIN.
The Garden Spot of Fergus Count,
A Tributary of Great Falls.

A few years ago the now fourishine
territory of Montana was SO little known
that to the people of the United States it
was regarded simply as SO much space,
an almost impossible barrier, separating
the rich ~aliuvial soil of the Pacific slope
from the fertile bottoms of the Mississippi
and its tributaries. In the year 1850,
when La bill was first introduced before
congress to connect the Atlantic and Pa
cifc by rail, Thomas Fl. Benton advocated
building the road through what is now
Montana, in preference to the proposed
route now occupied by the Central-Union
Pacific, remarking that the buffalo We're
the most reliable engineers for determine
ing the most feasible route, as they al
ways leave the plains of Nebraska and
Colorado and go north for the winter. 1t
has since been foreseen that his conclu-
sions, then a subject of ridicule, were
founded on sound logic.
In 1857 there were only known to be
thirty white men in what is now the ter
ritory of Montana. In 1862 gold was dis
covered in Beaverhead county, and in
1853 Alder Gulch was discovered and the
famous stampede began which first
brought Montana into notice, and was the
beginning of that tide OF emigration which
has ever since been flowing into it's
borders.
A Ian OF PROMISE.
Eastern Montana, then comparatively
unknown, is now acknowledged to be the
finest grazing country in the northwest,
while its mineral and agricultural re-
sources are second to no other part of the
territory. Surprising all the rest Of east
ern Montana in natural resources is the
newly formed county of Fergus. 1t lies
south of the Missouri river, east of the
Little Belt and Highwood mountains, and
west and north of the Musselshall river.
The garden spot of this country is the
Judith Basin, embracing the western half
of it and offering an inviting field to en-
ergetic people of all occupations-the
farmer, stockman. miner manufacturer
and merchant. 1t is rich in mineral, agri-
cultural and grazing resources, its plains
are covered with nutricious grasses, its
fertile meadow and bottom lands yielding
abundant return to the husbandman. Its
numerous streams furnish abundant water |
for stock and manufacturing purposes as
we'll. Like all other sections of the coun- |
try, the Judith was first brought to notice |
through mining excitements. Previous to
1879 the country was the favorite hunting |
ground of Crow, Gros Ventres, Piegan, |
Blood, Blackfeet and Sioux Indians, who |
came here in pursuit of the countless herds |
of buffalo and other game. Occasionally |
a few honesteD traders battered with the
simple aborigines in fair exchanged! gave
whiskey and beads for skins and horses,
the precaution always to remove
the plumber and their own skins before the
exhilerating effect of the fre-water had
entirely died away.

Wants to Handle Montana Cattle.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 1S.-The EDenSn5
Journal contains an article which e%vinces
a strong desire for close business relations
between that city and Montana for thg
| benefit of the new stock-yards acre. II
| says: zone influence Which has contris
buted very largely to the rapid filling ui1
of the HEo.i1ana ranges from the south has

for wintering in Montana, the losses there
having been less as a rule than on tbs

tailed no greater losses than have been es-
perienced on the plains of Kansas .atsf

Relative to the ssst%ock-yards and packing

preparations being made here to afford d
market for it. Minneapolis has succeed
ed in making herself the grain and lum-

a large and richer area Of country than
that tributary to any other city on thecon-
tinent. The next great industry to be de-
veloped in the northwest is the growing
of live stock and it Is of the highest i'm
portance that this city should be ready to
furnish a market for this rapidly increas-
ing product"

THE ~PIONEERS.

The first settlers were those who came
in during the mining excitement, and see
ing the great p disabilities of the country
decided to make their homes here. They
suffered great h%ardships for the first year,
having to watch their stock closely, and
often having it stolen, not always by In
dams, as there we're oftentimes whites in
league with them. Attnat time Fort Ben
ton, fifty miles north of the basin. at the
head of navigation on the Missouri, and
Coulson, a mile and a half from the now
iourishing city of Billings, on the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, the head of naviga-
ton on the Yellowstone, $50 miles apart,
were not in communications; while now
they are connected by a daily stage which
passes through several fourishingviilages,
the most prominent of which is Philbrook,
prettily situated on the Judith river. 1t
has only two church organizations, a fine
school and the only bridge across the river
which, with its central location, brings a
good deal of travel to the place, and doubt
less at no distant day it will be a place of
some importance. The increase in popu-

there is nc line of railroad yet in the basin.
There were but a handful of settlers here
in 1880, and at the last November election
there were about 900 votes cast by perma-
nent settlers, u sure indication of the APP
probation in which the country is held.
This seems to be a railroad-buildiag era.
and without doubt many miles OF road
will be built in Montana before the year
closes. The Manitoba company is vigor-
ously pushing its Devils Lake extension
westward, with Butte as its objective
point, and will undoubtedly touch the head
OF navigation at or neal Fort Benton.
Should thisroad be constructed, it will be
muck the nearest one to the basin and its
natural outlet, unless the Northern Pacific
builds its branch from Billings to the Bull
Mountain coal field and so on into the
basin, as we are informed they contem-
plate doing at no distant day, having made
q preliminary survey.-NorM Vest Maga-

The Place for Reduction Works.

P. Ell. Hughes, the veteran miner, left
to-day for Neihart. Regarding this city
he observed to the TRIBUNE:
"Most of the ores in the territory will be
sent here for smelling. When such oaes
are loaded on the railroad wagons it viii
make little difference to haul them a hun
dred miles or SO. in order that they may be
smelted here where water-poWer is abund-
ant throughout the year and where coal
may be had cheaply from the neigltbor-
ing mines. Concentrates will also be sent
here for smelling. In coming here ores
and concentrates will be on their way east
and there will be no needless t~ransporta-
ton. The bullion can be forwarded readi-
ly from here to the great markets of the
east. The energy behind this town will
insure the success of all this
Mr.. Hughes says that Neihart produces a
dry ore which is rich in silver. The Bar.
ker district yields a wet ore. One ore
would fiux the other. He says that Nei-
hart looks to this city as its base of supply.

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE GREAT NAN,

Completely overcome by this last remark,
Hans collapsed like a jelly fish out Of water,
and reflected in his worthless old heart that
Frank Muller was indeed "a devil Of a man."
By this time they had reached the door of the
little house and were dismounting, and in an
other minute Hans found himself in the pres-
ence Of one of the leaders Of the rebellion.
Be was a short, ugly man Of about IS, with
q big nose, small eyes, straight hair and a
stoop. The forehead, however, was good,
and the whole face betrayed a keenness and
ability far beyond the average. The great
man was seated at a plain deal table, writing
something with evident difficulty upon q
dirty sheet Of paper, and smoking q very
large pipe.
@sit, heeren, ST." he said when they en-
tered, waving the stem Of his pipe toward a
deal bench. Accordingly they sat down with
out even removing their hats, and, pulling
out their pipes, proceeded to light them.
how, IN h name Of God, do you spell
'exoellencyr" asked the general, presently,
Il have spelled 1t In four different ways. and
each one looks wore than the lsst.n

wills, not what YOU will

you. Who can say! You VIII DO what God
wills, not what you will"
The elder man was speaking seriously nov.
Muller felt that this was none of the whining
cant people in authority among the Beers
find it desirable to adopt. 1t was what he
thought, and it chilled Muller in spite of his
pretended skepticism, as the sincere belief Of
an Intellectual man, however opposite to our
own, Is apt to chill us into doubt of ourselves
and our opinions. For q moment his slumber-
ing superstition awoke, and he felt half
afraid. Between him and that bright future
of blood and power lay a chill gulf. Suppose
that gulf should be death, and the future
nothing hut a dream-or worse! His face
fell as the idea occurred to him, and the
general noticed it.
"Wen," he went IN, "he who lives will see.
Meanwhile you have done good service to the
state, and you shall have your reward, cou-
sin. If I am president"-he laid emphasis on
this, the meaning of which his listener did
not miss-"if by the support of my followers
I become president, l will not forget you.
And now l must upsaddle and get back. I
